I thought about titling this "Nubbins Mani #1" to see at what exact point I stop thinking about them as nubbins LOL, but I decided to refrain. Mom said she thought the french tips made them look even shorter but I actually think a french makes nails look longer, and I prefer it when my nails are short,. A french just start to look weird when the tip is the same size as the bed of the nail LOL. So after a certain point in length I stop wearing them much.
This was 3 coats of Wet n Wild Ocean Grotto, then I freehanded the tips with WnW Black Creme
, then one more coat of OG to give the tips some shimmer. It looked green in the bottle, more yellow on the nail, but when I put it next to my green dress it matched. So I'm not sure what color to call it:

Green or yellow or somewhere in between, I quite like how it turned out =) Thanks for reading.

oooh i like this green on green mani
ReplyDeleteI love your definition of nubbins :P That's long nails on me lol. I love this french, it turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful I love the green ocean grotto. Do you think you'll do a video about how you freehand your french tips? I would find this very helpful and much appreciated :) Thanks for showing us your beautiful nails.
ReplyDeleteWow this is completely gorgeous . I love the color combo .
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo - and your nail length!
ReplyDeleteThis length looks lovely on you! I couldn't even grow my nails *that* long, and really I'm amazed you still love long nails the way you do with all of the ouchies they seem to cause! Poor thumb. :(
ReplyDeletewao so pretty... love it
ReplyDeleteI like this manicure and the length of your nails too :).
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all of your water marble tutorials. I'm a huge fan!! :))
Really nice green color and love the black tips :)
ReplyDeleteYour nails are way longer than mine ever are, and you call them nubbins. That's funny.
ReplyDeletegreat combo! I think your nails look fabulous this length too! love the shape :D
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and your nails look AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThey're not short lol i can't get mine to grow for all my efforts a few just constantly peel. Your causing me many problems here in the UK as i now spend hours working out how i can afford to ship these polishes to the uk as a lot of them we can't get here or they are really expensive, like 19 dollars for a zoya when i found someone that sold them here.
ReplyDeleteI love how nice your nails look at this length, but I can understand the frustration of them not being as long as you're used to. Hope the shortening helps them grow healthier as they get long again! Also agree on asking advice on how to freehand french tips :D
ReplyDeleteIm wearing this color currently. I really like it. I did a gold accent nail and I think it may be to close to the green. My boss asked what I called this color. I said Lime Green, he said it looked putrid. But I love it.
ReplyDeleteVery good combo! If there would put some rhinestones it would be completely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnyway,looks very good.
Please don't hit me for saying this, but I actually find your nails prettier at this length :) They're gorgeous and straight and not long enough to be scary like before ;)
ReplyDeleteThose colours match perfect! Love them. xx
ReplyDeleteI'd say the color is chartreuse. :)
